Episode Details

Late Kick Live Ep. 278 features Josh Pate discussing Nick Saban’s recent comments about the direction of College Football and how conference realignment will negatively impact the competitive balance in the sport. We also break down the updated Blue Chip Ratio with a look at historically dependable metrics that determine which teams are capable of winning a national title based on their roster and recruiting. The bold prediction segment also returns with the wildest takes Pate State has to offer including UGA’s defense being statistically better than 2021, Wisconsin becoming the first team from the Big Ten east to win the conference title, UCLA playing in the Pac12 Championship Game, North Carolina fulfilling on their immense 2021 hype one year later, and James Franklin facing questions after an average Penn State finish. Josh also dives into the Late Kick mailbag for another spicy Q&A segment including a look back at the AP Poll era. Was voting for a national champ really so bad? Plus, where has all the UGA hype gone?
